A match of Dunn Edwards DE6370 Charcoal Smudge is a very dark charcoal neutral with very low chroma and a slightly earthy cast. It reads as gray first, with only a small amount of warmth, so the color stays restrained rather than looking bright or reflective.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, mailboxes, brackets, railings, shutters, and other small parts where a dark, low-profile finish is needed. It is also practical for PVC pipe, hardware, frames, shelving, and fixture components when a repeatable spray-applied match is needed on a coated, metal, plastic, or wood surface.

Because this color has a low LRV, lighter substrates or uneven repairs can show through until coverage builds, especially at edges and corners. On smooth metal or plastic, it can read deeper and more even, while texture and sheen level can make the finish appear slightly lighter or darker. Dark colors also tend to show surface defects and sheen differences more clearly, so preparation and even film build matter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE6370 Charcoal Smudge *

What should I confirm before ordering DE6370 Charcoal Smudge by Dunn Edwards as a custom-made MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm the exact Dunn Edwards color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order. Custom-made color matches are made specifically to your selection, so they should be checked carefully before checkout.

For DE6370 Charcoal Smudge, order a MyPerfectColor match of the selected brand color rather than assuming it is the original Dunn Edwards paint.

How do I verify that DE6370 Charcoal Smudge is the right Dunn Edwards color before I order?

Verify DE6370 Charcoal Smudge from a physical Dunn Edwards swatch or another known existing color reference from the original brand. Screen images can shift with monitor settings and lighting, so they are not the best approval source.

MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the safest way to confirm the target is to compare against a physical reference before you order.

Can MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DE6370 Charcoal Smudge be used on switch covers, vents, and similar small parts?

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DE6370 Charcoal Smudge is practical for small parts such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, knobs, and trim pieces when a sprayed finish is easier than brush application.

Clean and prepare the part first, then confirm the coating is suitable for the substrate. If the match is critical, test on the actual material before painting the full piece.

How should I choose a sheen for a MyPerfectColor match of DE6370 Charcoal Smudge?

Choose sheen based on how the part will be used and cleaned, not just on the color name. A flatter sheen usually hides surface texture better, while a glossier sheen reflects more light, is easier to clean, and can make DE6370 Charcoal Smudge read a little differently on the finished item.

If the item will be placed next to an existing painted surface, try to match both the color reference and the sheen as closely as possible.
